We might have closed the book on the Kobe era, but that doesn’t mean the stories have to stop. Lakers coach Luke Walton recalled an instance in his rookie campaign when he showed up to practice smelling like booze after a big night out and Kobe decided to teach him a lesson. He said on […]

On Friday, Philadelphia 76ers great Allen Iverson and Los Angeles Lakers great Shaquille O’Neal were both inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. The two greats faced off against each other for years in the NBA, most notably in 2000, when the 76ers stunned the world by defeating the previously unbeaten Lakers squad in Game 1 […]

Many athletes have come out in support of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his refusal to stand for the playing of the National Anthem—to protest certain injustices minorities face in this country. Hall of fame Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O’Neal is not of those players who agrees with how Kaepernick is doing his protest, […]

In the past we’ve seen Richard Sherman, Jerry Rice and Danica Patrick go undercover as Lyft drivers, shocking fans who had no idea who they were driving with. This time around, it’s former NBA player and current TNT analyst Shaq going undercover as a rasta, biker Lyft driver, giving fans the shock of their life.

Shaq‘s 16-year-old son Shareef was doing just fine in his basketball career trajectory, having been courted by many schools and getting national attention for his ability to play small with a 6’9″ frame. Now it looks like he’s going to be even more difficult for opposing players to contend with next year, as he told […]

Is it possible that Charles Barkley‘s performance in the original ‘Space Jam’ movie was even worse that Shaquille O’Neal‘s acting in his 1996 box office disaster, Kazaam? Shaq seems to think so. You can watch him and the rest of the ‘Inside the NBA’ crew taunt Barkley for his poor acting skills in the video […]

The first round of the NBA playoffs have been pretty boring. Too many stars injured, too many good teams playing poorly, not enough interesting match-ups. The second round should be better, but for another few days we’re pretty much stuck. How are the folks at TNT handling this? Not well, frankly. The other day Shaq […]

Last night’s slate of NBA playoff games consisted of Toronto vs. Indiana and Boston vs. Atlanta, so needless to say, the hosts got just as restless as fans of good basketball did. And while they were holding down the fort at Inside the NBA, Shaq and the Chuckster discussed dancing, which culminated in “The Gorilla Dab,” a […]

There was little doubt that Shaq would have some pretty huge kids, considering the former NBA star’s size. But it’s looking like his 16-year-old son, Shareef, is doing some pretty crazy-impressive things with a slightly smaller frame than his father, at 6’9″. Now, it’s possible, or even likely that he’ll put on a few more […]

On the whole, WrestleMania 32 was not quite as entertaining as previous WrestleManias. However, there were a few spectacular moments, like Shane McMahon jumping from the top of a 20-foot steel cage, and the surprise return of The Rock and John Cena, who was supposed to miss WrestleMania because of shoulder surgery. Also pretty awesome: […]

This entire Nick Young-D’Angelo Russell scandal brought back memories of a 2004 Lakers squad that dealt with something similar in regards to a teammate outing another teammate. If there is anyone in the sports world that knows about getting snitched on, it’s former Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O’Neal. Back in ’04, when Kobe Bryant […]

The Shaq / Kobe beef would have been epic if Facebook & Twitter was as popular as it is today. Shaq and Kobe HATED each other during the last few years of their time together in Los Angeles. Both older and wiser now, they can look back on it and laugh. Fast forward 12 years […]

Shaquille O’Neal has never really been fond of current Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard pretty much since he started to call himself Superman back when he played for his 1st team: The Orlando Magic. Not only that, Shaq and others believe Dwight should have been dominating this league but he’s too soft. All has been […]

Former Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal reportedly warned slain rapper Notorious B.I.G. way back in 1997 not to go to the party that ultimately got him murdered right after. Back when Shaq was going through his rapping phase, he and Biggie did a song together. The Notorious B.I.G./Shaq – Can’t Stop The Reign [w/ […]

If the title didn’t already make you puke a little in your mouth, these Tweets should do the trick.
